Learn R by trying R

If you are new to R, and want to get an introduction to the R language, in the classic “learning by doing way”, Code school and O’Reilly have put together the Try R interactive tutorial.

This tutorial is a painless introduction to the R programming language. During the course you'll become familiar with using vectors, matrices, factors, and data frames to manipulate data into powerful visualizations.
